In our tradition of having a December window bike that could hypothetically almost fit under a Christmas tree Honda was kind enough to loan us one of their sweet 2018 Honda CRF110's These little guys look sweet and are a blast to rip around on now matter what your age!

This month we are stoked about having a replica Suzuki TR750 in the window. We have been talking about putting this bike in the window for quite some time. The bike belongs to and was partially built by our racing sensei, Sensei Tim Voyer #840.

On Sunday October 28 we held our annual Poker Run with our Friends from Moto Revere. It was a fun day of riding around and collecting cards from all over the city. Despite some cold and rainy weather we had an awesome assortment of hardy riders who braved the elements for some seat time and great prizes from our generous sponsors.

We are super stoked this month to have Honda Canada's custom Rebel 500 in the window. The bike started life as a completely stock Honda Rebel 500 and then it was given to Rob Chappell at Origin8or Cycles to work his magic on it.

For those that got to attend you know the Motosocial Camp a couple of weeks back you know it was a great weekend full of great people, bikes, food, drink, fun and a beautiful location to explore on your motorcycle while raising money for a great charity at the same time!

On Sept. 5 2018 We were excited to host the last Moto Social of the season. We teamed up with our local go-to's (Crafted Coffee & KungFu Dawg) and The Moto Social to get as many bikes on Ossington as we could.

For this months window bike, we were loaned a beautiful 2018 R NineT Pure from BMW Motorad Canada. Before putting the bike in the window, we spent a few days riding it around, and had an awesome time on it. We have heard lots of positive reviews about the bike, mostly from owners. We were happy to find out that it lives up to the hype!

Last week I rode my shitmobile 09 Sportster from Toronto to Charlotte, North Carolina and met up with the guys at Prism Motorcycles and Supply. I got to see a lot of tasteful custom motorcycles including their Born Free 9 '48 Panhead, and a pink EVO that they are currently working on for Fuel Cleveland.

Freedom Machines is Ontario's biggest and best custom and vintage motorcycle show. The one day event just had it's 4th birthday and as always there were tons of amazing motorcycles and good times to be had. If you weren't able to make it out be sure to be there next year but in the meantime check out some of our photos from this years event!

Our window bike for July is a real clean 1984 Honda XR500R that belongs to our friend Klaus. He picked it and a matching XR600 off of a collector in New Brunswick. It's a really fun looking and fun to ride bike so make sure to pop by and check it out in person!

This past weekend we had our second Ride-In of the year! Thanks to all who came out and spent the afternoon with us checking out some great bikes and eating some awesome sandwiches from our friends at Sunday Sandwiches.

May 13th marked our first Ride-In of 2018. Always exciting this time of year when everyone has their bikes out the weather is not too hot and you get to catch up with all your moto buddies you may not have seen in awhile.

Early in May we had organized a school day with our friends Aaron & Katalin Hesmer who run Flat Track Canada and the Go Flat Track school. We invited our friends and customers to join us for a great day getting to see what the sport is actually like and try our hand at going fast and turning left.

The Forty-Eight Special from Harley-Davidson was also gracing our window and shop this month. It bears a lot of similarities with the Iron 1200 including the powerplant but it's a little lower and a little beefier looking with dual 16" wheels with fat tires and more substantial front forks.

March's window bike tied into our Flat Track themed month by being an interesting concept from a Canadian company, Falcon Racing Co. that is putting together ready-to-race DTX Flat Track bikes at an affordable price.

With the Grand Prix de Snow presented by Husqvarna Motorcycles happening last month we had wanted a bike that fit that vibe to help promote the event. Luckily our friend Lawrence we were promoting the event with had just the bike. It's his 1974 Husqvarna CR124 he had just finished putting together.

We have been looking forward to holding the 2nd Grand Prix de Snow with our buds Lawrence Hacking andHusqvarna MotorcyclesCanada for awhile now. It even looked like we would have a little bit of snow for it, which was something we never thought we would have a problem with when we started the event.

This month we were lucky to have a beautiful 1968 Benelli 350 in the window. The bike belongs to our good friend Nicholas, and it is the second one of his bikes we have been privileged enough to borrow.

For our fourth and final VRRA round of the year, we found ourselves at Calabogie Motorsports Park for the second time this season. This track is awesome! It has 20 turns and is over 5km long with exceptional grip. This was our third time visiting the track and as a result it's starting to feel more familiar and we're figuring out what-to-do-where a little better.

With another year in the books it's nice to take a sec and look back at all the great bikes that graced our window in 2017. We love switching it up each month and gives us an opportunity to check out great bikes, meet interesting bike owners and get a free workout hauling them up and out each month.
